TUESDAY THOUGHTS : POETRY PROMPT—COMPLICITY


COMPLICITY 

They’re gonna need the empathy they fail to show

Right now, they think that cruelty’s the way to go

Their arrogance; entitlement on full display 

Desperate pleas, and anguished screams, ignored each day


They’re going to feel the wrath they seem to think is theirs

Consciences seared, they carry on—bold; unaware

Though Mercy’s great, and Grace is free, they're running low

Some just don’t care; others will swear they didn’t know


They’ll rue the day they looked away, and didn’t help

The way they stole, and set a goal to hoard the wealth

While parents cried, and soldiers died in distant lands

The way they justify the deeds of evil hands


They’re gonna know the fear, firsthand, that they instill

Like men of old, they’re gonna choke, and get their fill

And then regret how they all smirked as others starved

As they embark upon the path their madness carved


They’re gonna seek pity— play victim. How absurd!

And feign ignorance of the warnings that they heard

And claim the chaos was all for the greater good

Then take the fall, just like we always knew they would 


They’re gonna wish they’d never met the scoundrels who

Are orchestrating every single thing they do

They’re gonna wish they’d not ignored History’s tales

Of how complicit cowards all miserably failed
